Back in the swing of things

Well, we're sort of back in the swing of things around here. Baby K and I arrived back in Switzerland on Friday night to a very happy BK. Baby K and I are still fighting a bit of jet lag, but are working on recovering and will hopefully be fully back on our time zone in a few days. We also came home to a sick Tanner, so between her waking up at night and him needing to go out, sleep has been somewhat scarce.

Baby K became more mobile while we were in Texas so now she's crawling all over the place, and BK and I have quickly realized that we need to do some serious baby proofing and find some gates that will work with all the open space in our house.

Our flights home went well and were fairly uneventful, which is what you want during a 10 hour flight with a 9-month old. She only slept about three or four hours, but was not fussy or anything the rest of the time, so that worked out well.

The whole sleeping-under-the-seat thing is done now. As soon as you put her down there she rolls right over and attempts to crawl off. The space does still work well to let her sit and play with toys though. On the positive side, her only getting three hours of sleep on the plane meant that she slept though the night the first night we were home. It was just a tease, but was still nice to get a night of uninterrupted sleep when first arriving home.

She was so worn out from the first flight and from playing in the London airport, that this is how she spent the London-Geneva flight, sprawled out on my lap:

I say we're getting back into the swing of things because we had a fairly uneventful weekend, including a date night on Saturday, and have pretty much gotten the month's worth of stuff we brought back put away. I went back to French class this morning while Baby K stayed with her babysitter.

Even though I'm sure it's not the case, this is how I felt in French class this morning, running on not so much sleep:

Have to run now...apparently Baby K didn't get the memo that I had things to get done while she napped, as she's up an hour early. I'll look on the positive side and hope that this means she'll be really tired tonight and sleep really well during the night. We can hope!
